Who are the young imperialist guns of this generation that marked themselves as serious thinkers by supporting the Iran War, a la Yglesias and Klein supporting the Iraq War, contra most of the liberals of their generation, but immediately elevating them into prominence?

All of this is true other than that it's a problem for Dem consultants. They are making small and large fortunes two-timing the candidates they purport to serve, actually serving the corporate interests that seek the party's impotence and failure.

Israel called the UK an Islamic republic and it made absolutely no difference to UK-Israel relations. It's not even part of 'the discourse'. At this point Israel can just boast of how many citizens of 'allied' nations it can kill because any Israeli politician knows nothing will happen.

As I've taken to saying, any system that makes voters become dime-store game theorists is bad. Ranked choice voting eliminates that. Top-two exacerbates it.

I wish the Max Miller story was less framed as “look at how Republicans are hypocrites” and more “once again powerful people clearly knew of a horrific level of abuse being performed to somebody and obviously chose not to care about until it became a political liability.”

“Why is Israel a bigger deal than KSA?” Because we send them free money “Why don’t we hear about Sudan?” Because we don’t send them free money “What about Hezbollah/Hamas?”Most Americans hate those groups, so we don’t send them free money

If Democrats want to reduce the political centrality of Israel, literally all they have to do is stop voting to fund it. Half the salience of the issue, sadly, is baseline opposition to foreign aid generally Remove that & it remains an issue but not a politically central one

Obviously the text here is offensive and makes crystal clear that Israel is no ally to anyone. But it's also a baffling but typical example of how Trump's blasé attitude infects everyone around him. The war is contained because we say it is. Pay no attention to all of those destroyed CENTCOM bases.

Finance Minister Smotrich after the lengthy security discussion last night: “The State of Israel has no interest in joining the contained confrontation between Iran and the United States — the current situation is the best one for us.”

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.

I'm amazed DMFI is going with the "he was asking for it" approach wrt Khanna instead of just saying "this is unacceptable and it's incumbent on Israel to bring these thugs into line". The latter doesn't even require you to do anything!

Some people see this daily parade of horrors and think we gotta get more conservative in hope that we never lose an election again. More and more people thankfully are over that and realizing we gotta get organized so that we can enact our agenda when we have power again, not just slow the horrors.

The top 5 most hated institutions in this broad list of 40 polled here are all things Yglesias and his coterie are consistently trying to persuade Democrats to embrace or at best never antagonize. It is *existential* that they lose this argument and that the party pick a fight with these parasites.

I can’t bring myself to be too celebratory. This should have been a 9-0 slam dunk. My main takeaway is that there are currently 4 votes to undo a longstanding constitutional guarantee that 15 years ago seemed beyond any serious question.

The U.S. is worse off because of Trump's incompetence, his ego, and his inability to listen to facts.
If Trump wants to send hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran, he'll need to do with Republican votes.
Democrats will not be helping Trump send $300
billion to Iran.

@ChrisVanHollen
Democrats should make 2 key points.
1) The illegal war in Iran has been a blunder & we are worse off than before it started.
2) There's no good way out of a bad war. We should reject the talking points of those who cheered it on & want to drag us back into it.
When you're in a hole, stop digging.
Senator Chris Van Hollen * A @ChrisVa...•1d
Very revealing. Republican senators who were
AWOL regarding their constitutional duties around
STARTING the war against Iran all of a sudden demand that Congress play a role in STOPPING the war. A whole lot of warmongering going on.

It's heartening to see all the pro-war ideologues flipping out but I remain skeptical that Trump is willing to restrain Israel for more than a few weeks. I think we would need to see a big shift in White House personnel to gain confidence that he's not going to renege tomorrow on some new advice.
